You build depending on the fight you're doing, some resources are in my pin for gbf
(Gw is covered in them)
the biggest new thing if you're playing lumi is the m3 gun
but if you already have a bunch of swords and did your harakhtes and also have either harmonias or harsiesis built, you should be okay
nm90 is actually relevant now bc it's the easiest mode that drops celestial weapons
so you'll see some comps for that too, whereas people didn't really care that much about it in comparison before
quwatoro just posted this and it's subtitled, so you can refer to that as well
as always, make substitutes for what you don't have with what you do
it's fine if you need to press more buttons or whatever to compensate

gachafriends, i need recommendations on games with character designs similar to nier reincarnation
old galleon
what does that even look like?
digital marlin
i feel like Arknights has some characters that would fit the bill for nier reincarnation
tbh looking at neir reincarnation character designs it feels to simpalstic compared to what any gacha would go for
old galleon
maybe octopath traveler: champions of the continent?
you can compare character arts in the various tabs there
as for granblue, i'm not sure stylistically it's all that similar
but you can get some nier skins for mc with one of the dlc codes from versus rising, i think
digital marlin
i feel like when granblue was chosen they did it based on artstyle instead
old galleon
yeah and i'm saying granblue's art style isn't that similar to what i'm seeing from nier reincarnation
maybe the older stuff, but not necessarily their more recent art
astral drift
long tree
Argor your upgrade omega summons have been a god send thank you
summer hornet
yeah and i'm saying granblue's art style isn't that similar to what i'm seeing f...
I mean out of my mental list of Granblue, FGO, Azur Lane, Touken Ranbu, BBS, Dokkan, MHAUI, Genshin, HSR, and Brave Frontier (RIP) Granblue is definitely the best fit
also shamelessly plugging that I've upgraded my Tiamat to 210
...Luminiera is still 150, though
old galleon
Argor your upgrade omega summons have been a god send thank you
the only one that actually has an upgraded aura right now is lumi
the auras themselves don't upgrade much before a certain point
210 upgrades the call's effects and damage, 220 makes the base cooldown 6 turns instead of 9
only at 230+ do you see upgrades to the aura
210 does give them a sub aura, but that's irrelevant for the support summon since it uses the main aura
the real issue is that if you're low on sand, the 230+ uncaps all need 1 sand each for 3 total
which tbf is lower than we expected, we were totally expecting it to take 5 sands per summon
but that'll still be 18 sands total for just the omega summons
then you consider other stuff that needs sands (esp evoker uncaps)
so i guess what i'm saying is, take advantage of content that gives guaranteed sands
this is what i've settled on for ex+
don't think i can do any of the normal attacking comps without pressing buttons so this is the best i've got
oh that estimated damage should be a bit lower since i accidentally had 5* lumi in there instead of huanglong
summer hornet
we're both doing a luci raid right now lmao

How does one get light quartz
old galleon
reduce all those lumi dupes you get from your daily hosts, reduce sr light summons (make sure to save some mlb carbuncles just in case), buy them from pendant shop (limited per month), run your daily non-raid lu woh hosts
i don't recommend buying htem with cerulean stones or with dread barrage currency

old galleon
my light can't even do 70% of the hp right now
what are you running?
idle grove
old galleon
if you have the star, find room to put it somewhere in your summons
also since you're running a charge attack comp, see if you can get any copies of harakhte to drop from horus
each one is 400k ca supp
it caps at 1m so you only really need 2 at most
i'm assuming you don't have beelzebub
what characters do you have access to?
idle grove
all of these
old galleon
slot y narm somewhere
if you need her end of turn shit, in the front; otherwise, in the back
uncap s seruel and use him too
if you find you can do enough ca damage without relic buster limit burst to enhance specs while setting up charge bars, you can also run ferry front and use a support huanglong; combined with crew battery you'd start at 100% and could still run whatever main summon instead of needing your own huanglong
also i spy a yuni, which also means you have harmonia
for the skill nukes both y narm and s seruel have, harmonia will be of great assistance for its unconditional 50k supp
you can easily slot out one of the lower sl lumi swords for it
i also see s yurius but i need to check his kit first
okay i'm not sure you can make use of s yurius end of turn without pressing some buttons for debuffs
if you don't mind pressing buttons or if you have a way to inflict 5+ debuffs, then it'd be fine
vira has a big skill nuke with her upgraded ca, although it's only one hit, so it won't benefit as much from supp, but it should still be valuable
so for your rb mc i'm thinking something like rb/s seruel/vira/y narmaya front (seruel in the 2 since his ca has a light atk buff on it for your other two characters to use)
silva in the back
and since i don't see grand sandy, your 6th can probably just be whoever
and make sure to slot harmonia somewhere over your worst copy of the lumi sword
s seruel is non-negotiable, and y narm somewhere in the comp, even in the back, is also non-negotiable
otherwise, if you don't want to use vira, you can still run nicholas/sara/lyria, although i do think vira will probably still be the best of those four
i'm not sure your grid is strong enough to run a ferry/single huanglong comp, but if you were to, then probably something like mc in your best class for the job/s seruel/ferry/y narm/silva/filler, lumi x huanglong summons
it's possible that would take it down to 0 buttons, although again, i'm not sure your grid as yet is strong enough for that
but 2 button rb setup is also fine
summer hornet
Did you not get the ultima weapon from this year's anniversary event, Aeri?
You can replace your seraphic weapon with that
idle grove
I have barely been playing at all, nevermind any events
gacha games have been on the backburner a lot recently
and yeah my grid most likely can't sustain a 0b comp sadly
old galleon
which is fine, rb 2 buttons is totally acceptable
try the stuff i recommended and see if that works

did more damage but still getting caught lacking
old galleon
old galleon
did more damage but still getting caught lacking
then at that point it's a matter of the rest of your grid
lemme go check it again
so let's see... i assume you replaced your worst lumi sword with harmonia already
if you managed to get a harakhte from your horus runs, you can replace your now-worst lumi sword with it
it won't help as much with raw damage for your skill nukes, but an extra 400k per ca is significant at this stage
if you had bubs, this would be a lto easier; you'd just put him as your main summon and add his call as a third button, then it'd be trivial
but that's not in your control
hmm
idle grove
if you managed to get a harakhte from your horus runs, you can replace your now-...
sadly I did not
old galleon
do you happen to have a copy of mittron's bow?
it'd be better if it were 4*, but if not, that's also fine
you can probably get more damage out of it by slotting a copy over your now-worst lumi sword since it'd add a new modifier to the grid
idle grove
uhh let me check

Having a good auto attacker not reliant on cooldowns and especially not bursts I've found helps a ton with smooth exploration
Which is why Yanfei was my alt MVP

oh you mean an elemental basic attack, like Lisa?
late canopy
Sort of
Meaning the main source of their damage can be called upon at anytime
Like for example Xiangling mainly gets her dmg from her burst with the spinning fire tornado
Imagine how annoying it would be if you ran into one guy with her and need to use her burst to kill him
And then you run into another guy two minutes later and it's not charged anymore
summer hornet
I have already experienced that with Kaeya lol

Yeah so I like having one guy at least who can jump from group to group without needing a burst
Makes cleaning out generic mobs much comfier

Depends on the content
For general use, you want self suficient units with high/consistent rolls, mostly , probably different damage types/affinities and as many dodges as you can gather
Idt edgar gregor rolls that well outside of sinking, since his conditionals, however strong they might be, need there to be actually sinking applied
Basically all the charge ids are nice for general content since most of them also carry a mini nuke around with them
I think just ideal, faust, hong lu, ish and rodion is a winning combination, and id prolly take greg over sinclair still

Phantyllia was the boss that made me regret raising my trailblazer level, but once I had access to friend supports she was pure fodder
slow raft
thankfully i was still on equillibrium level 5 back when i did phantyllia
so it was a breeze
summer hornet
phantyllia didn't feel that bad to me
This was before Dan Heng IL came out, and I'd failed to get Kafka at the time. My only 5* sustain was Bailu, who has zero debuff protection/removal
slow raft
i thoughed it out thanks to fu xuan, what a based character
old galleon
i don't recall the fight being a total breeze but i don't remember having a struggle of epic proportions with her either
slow raft
low health? no i think i will regain 90 percent of missing health
summer hornet
Fu Xuan really does just make 95% of the game easy mode
The amount of streamers I've seen who just skip over boss mechanics because of her is insane
(2.0) ||Sam can't burn through her||, (2.1) ||Aventurine can't squash her||
I think only enemies that revolve around stealing units, like Svarog's hand and Memory Zone Meme, have any effect
slow raft
oh yeah, til that memory zone meme just ends the battle if it steals all 4 of your chars
during my sim uni run no less
(:
runic ether
something unto death can be super bs if u dont have a specific team comp
there are some reliable ai manips u can do
but its still obnoxious
and the dps check would still be brutal
slow raft
it was at like 40% hp last phase but i literally could not keep up with the health of the statues anymore
runic ether
yeah you need a dual carry comp or a comp with blast/aoe attacks
runic ether
honest pawn
normal amounts of damage
I gotta try out the dieci ID's
maybe on the 11th I can actually get to unlocking them
but I got spicebush yi sang and slopsuit ishy to work towards
slow raft
sinking feels honestly as braindead for md hard as charge
which is a tall fucking ask
like, i didnt even use baba yaga in this run and yet
honest pawn
Sinking's got the benefit of E.G.O. gifts that do things instead of giving you more charge as well
slow raft
they build up sinking, just like the charge gifts build up charge
(he didnt get red order, melted spring, skeletal crumbs or artistic sense)
honest pawn
this is not ideal
dull bridge
@glossy latch u play dot in hsr right
is there a good 4* team
if I dont have kafka
or should I just not bother
runic ether
sampo + gui can do a lot of damage if built around but kafka absolutely har carries
*hard
without kafka, dot will just lack the fat dps
old galleon
okay so rather annoyingly, we ended up being like 9m honors off of finals
i was convinced i had farmed enough, but i clearly didn't
so anyway i have a 27s clear of nm95 on full auto
just that lucha strat, except i need mugen's 3 as well
dull bridge
without kafka, dot will just lack the fat dps
ok thats what I thought
old galleon
man these chest drop rates aren't that great
only have 10 chests of good fortune so far, out of the 60 cap
shouldn't be too hard to get the other 50 tho
dull bridge
sampo + gui can do a lot of damage if built around but kafka absolutely har carr...
whats anohter fun dps to build than
I have Jingliu, Clara, Acheron. Yanqing
i wanna try to build someone else
or mabye supports
which supports do I build for more dps
runic ether
do you have ruan mei?
dull bridge
nop :(
old galleon
in the way too early runner up standings, so far the crew's ranked 53rd
top 1k make it to the next finals round
which i'm gonna try to do, but won't make any promises
i've also used 1.2k meat and only have 16 chests
not a big fan of the chest conversion rate on nm95
probably gonna have to go back and farm more meat once i get my 50 chests

we have an in-game dpr calculator now
at least kei luna has one how tf
mystic python
It's on a private server
runic ether
yea im just wondering how since idt it was a thing before
mystic python
Ig they just have something reading what the server outputs for the damage numbers, and by the looks of it totals the damage every second and outputs that number
Don't know too much about this specifically but it's a reasonable guess to say damage is calculated server-side since you don't do damage when disconnected, and high ping delays damage
So it's unlikely people can make this for live servers without potentially running into issues messing with mihoyo's servers
runic ether
yeah for live servers it doesnt seem possible
but maybe its also not something out of the window for a future update?
ive read some huge cope theories that they are going to drop another end-game content grind for genshin soon
with the whole build rating + build guide in-game
mystic python
o yea mihoyo tracks all sorts of data, so it's def possible on their end
runic ether
a qol of a dpr calculator from hoyo would be really useful to let ppl know if they are at a point they can clear abyss or whatever they release
mystic python
An actual test dummy would be so nice yea
runic ether
im tired of beating up masanori
mystic python
Praying every abyss rotation's 12-1-1 isn't cringe when you want to test something
runic ether
you get 2 balls into 2 enemies that will ungroup at their earliest convenience and you will like it
mystic python
Oh boy, time to test which hits will vape
enemies apply dendro and pyro auras to themselves
runic ether
this abyss cycle is just annoying enough but easy enough where i dont mind
mystic python
Ye at this point it's less a matter of whether I can clear, but more whether I can play fun teams to do so
Faruzan DPS was kinda nice this rot
late canopy
Abyss has definitely grown harder as time went on
I used to exclusively play weird teams to clear floor 12
Like Polearms-only across two teams
But the amount of effort needed to use less meta teams now is too much hassle for me
runic ether
blame neuvillette
late canopy
Even before Neuvi
runic ether
nah but fr the bar to clear has gotten higher overall for a while
i first really tried abyss back in 3.4
after i had finished my yelan
did decent iirc
33 stars
?
but then 3.5 and 3.6 and 3.7 was a lot harder
thank god i had haitham to carry me
mystic python
It kinda capped out at the Wenut tbh, that was the biggest recent spike I felt
runic ether
from 3.8 on i was just clearing easily and they decreased the difficulty in 4.0 but its been ramping up again
mystic python
Since then every abyss has been Wenut or easier
runic ether
my account investment has also increased a lot
i can almost 1 cycle wenut
i wish it was just a single rot but it takes like 2.5 rots
mystic python
I blame Ayaka
And Venti ig
Every chamber is either freeze-resistant enemies, 3 waves or a boss
runic ether
ah i thought u meant outright immune
mystic python
Ye ig there's that too, altho a bit rarer
Hydro phantasm local legends
Think we had cryo slimes in 12 at one point as well
long tree
The worst shit for me is bringing out nevu and seeing both waves have hydro immune/heavy resist
Like damn my artifacts already suck don't need to kick me in the shins too
late canopy
I've been paying attention
Abyss hasn't hydro res'd on both sides in a very long time
There's always at least one where nevui can clean house on
long tree
Stage 11 wave 2 iirc
late canopy
I know cuz I keep doing it
runic ether
neuv can still solo
long tree
My nevu hits baby numbers because the artifact gods hate me (skill issue)
runic ether
this just means you havent farmed marechausse/golden troupe enough
long tree
I farmed him for 3 weeks
His artifacts are still shit
I have the worst artifact luck
So usually I just put on sub par things and then move on to whatever other unit I've gotten
My zhongli has my best relics
mystic python
Ye I can get that tbh, my Golden Troupe chars are all pretty good but I didn't have a good flower on MH until like a couple weeks ago
long tree
For whatever reason they designated all the good relics for zhonger
mystic python
And sands still sucks
runic ether
im stuck on goblets for all sets overall
but i have some pretty baller flowers
and feathers
long tree
I'm stuck getting EM main stat artifacts for kazoo
I have picked up some good xianyun pieces because of it though
mystic python
The classic
runic ether
mystic python
I farmed the VV domain for 8 full months, have 7 EM sands, 3 EM goblets and 3 Circlets
runic ether
1 goblet and 2 sands and none of them above 40 cv is crazy
mystic python
They were so rare I kept track of all of them
And my Kazuha sands has 2.7 crit rate 0 ER
Very cracked
runic ether
my kazuha and sucrose are geared to a decent enough level and im fine with that
i only optimize for raiden, yae, tao, and haitham
xq and yelan get buffed just incidentally
runic ether
i somehow doubt that
mystic python
I think I stopped using my last 4 star artifact about halfway through AR56
long tree
my existence is pain it takes me a week or two to get relics with the main stat I want regardless of if it's 4 or 5 star
mystic python
But tbh I can respect still using some esp. if they're EM
runic ether
i still have 4 star artifacts for a full instructors and a full exiles set
mystic python
o yea I choose to ignore my 100 locked Inst/Exile pieces
long tree
If I want EM, it goes to ATK%, I want ATK% it goes to crit rate, I want crit rate it goes to HP%, I want HP% you guessed it DEF%
I spent 20 moons getting my kazuha relics
I got 1 EM main stat relic
1
long tree
Raiden farming took me 2 months
mystic python
Sometimes less nice
long tree
I'm not talking about the sub stats I'm talking main stat
mystic python
Yea EM mainstats are notorious
Since the subs on those usually don't matter, 4 stars are honestly fine
runic ether
i have never believed about em mainstat
mystic python
You lose like 50 EM
runic ether
i got multiple em mainstat pieces and i get a ton ive had a good amount to level and see how they level
mystic python
I've gotten a lot on Gilded/Deepwood but VV was not nice to me at all
I still don't have an Instructor 4 star EM goblet
I've been saving Instructor pieces since like mid 2021
runic ether
i accidentally deleted like 3 instructer em sands and goblets
so my yaoyao's instructor set is scuffed
runic ether
u will see
old galleon
i've gotten over 200m honors today and still only have 34 chests
old galleon
at around 7200 meat for now, been farming nm95 on fa in the background
gained a bit over 250m honors iirc
glossy latch
<@117715672737251330> u play dot in hsr right
Without Kafka there isnt much of a point to go full DoT
You can still use DoT units, but it wouldnt be a full team
Sampo is just generally a solid sub-DPS
old galleon
lmao i got hit with the gw capcha
been a long time since that happened
atm i'm at 105k tokens, 44 chests of good fortune, 286m honors in this round, and 379m honors total
and zero celestial weapon drops
also still have 7k meat
annoyingly, i'm still less than halfway to my target honor count
need 800m for sand
old galleon
okay so with less than 4 hours to go i have us at almost double the honors count of current 1,000th place
if we don't get into finals this time i'm gonna flip

Need one more eidolon on him though before I'm fully happy with him (am E3)

i don't think anyone has an identical dress to that in gbf

is her name a combination of fraud and faux?

no
that is one of fraux's default skins once she does her 5* uncap

crew people, remember to go pick up the extra valor badges from finals

iirc it should have 288m hp
slow raft
what kinda team does one run with acheron?
from skillset and traces i imagine two nihility supports + one sustain that does debuffs is probably optimal damage wise?
personally i think my only nihily char i want to use alongside her is pela so id go with that + gallagher(two sources of debuffs pog) and fire trailblazer since thats also a debuff and its more reliant than gebards skill
runic ether
acheron runs double nihility + sustain
so a triple nihility team
gallagher + acheron + pela + nihility will be good
that 3rd nihility can be welt, guinaifen, sampo
luka
for my latest moc 12 run, i ran gallagher pela guinaifen acheron
slow raft
yeah i figured but aside from welt those character sound weird to run with this team
actually wait, this gunaifen character seems cracked
runic ether
guinaifen is actually super good
the debuffs she provides are just about on par as the buffs from someone like asta or yukong
welt is also super strong
some ppl run no sustain teams with acheron
because welt can speed nerf enemies
and in theory with sufficient speed tuning, you can just let the enemies take 0 turns
runic ether
but even without that into account welt has good damage and good synergy with acheron
sampo damage is also really good
so u run him less as a support more as a sub dps
slow raft
did pure fiction for the first time today and had to actually physically restrain myself from adding a sustain
runic ether
i run sustains for pf but then the sustains i have for pf have some form of aoe
fu xuan and gallagher
and fireblazer
in any case, the 3rd nihility in the team is actually important for acheron
slow raft
so u run him less as a support more as a sub dps
just feel odd to run dot without a focus on it
runic ether
yeah thats acheron for ya
she cares more about that passive + the dot application than she does about the rest of the team damage
slow raft
then again ive been using a support black swan as a dps for an entire week and it has worked out just fine
slow raft
that copy also has like 4 eidolons, which i imagine helps a bit
runic ether

yeah thats like
giga powered black swan
i believe at e4 you can consider running solo/duo black swan

Thank you for carrying us

i should prolly start farming relics at this point but something inside me is revolting at the though of it

well i did the first stage of pure fiction today
runic ether
ah so im going to 0 cycle 0 turn the meme
summer hornet
As long as the main stats and set combo effects look good I wouldn't stress over it, with the exception of a) a hypercarry DPS who is intended to carry your account and/or b) you want to clear all the Memory of Chaos stages
runic ether
oh yeah the meme is going to explode
summer hornet
Which like, most people I know who play the game don't
summer hornet
oh yeah the meme is going to explode
Am I dreaming or is that 430% crit damage
slow raft
well, it is penacony, so
runic ether
it got 2 attacks in
runic ether
Am I dreaming or is that 430% crit damage
that is indeed 100 crit rate and 430 crit damage
old galleon
i had like 45 chests when i started nm100, out of the 50 cap
not even 30 runs later i got the remaining 5
drop rate feels much better in 100 (and presumably 150) lol
no sands from my chests lol
summer hornet
I decided to try and improve DHIL’s crit damage
runic ether
ive done it 6 times now and this is the best piece ive gotten
which im p happy with tbh
summer hornet
Because y’know, 100% crit rate but only 97% crit damage is… fine, but not great
runic ether
shes p solid now since its an effective 84% crit rate
summer hornet
And not a single piece in the past three days has met my expectations
runic ether
i can go cdmg body with the dan heng lc
runic ether
real
i dont even level them much at all if its not 2x crit or 2x relevant stat
and my topaz has been on some insane pieces tbh
summer hornet
Love to see it
summer hornet
Oh when you said insane pieces you meant it
summer hornet
I might need to do what you do lmao
runic ether
only beaten out by qq
both of them lose out to jingliu bc lol free 50 crit rate but

Some of these passive stat gains are nuts
FX and Aventurine casually boosting the whole team’s effect resist

I was so confused when I saw Licia’s Jingliu the first time too

my jingliu fucks too
dont get it wrong

one of the rare mid characters
its of no fault of her own though

Oof

shes just outclassed at all angles
kuki has her beat at healing + electro app
fischl has just more raw dps
beidou is infinitely stronger at multi target
lisa triggers just as much electro but has better field presence
and what she does better over say fischl and beidou which is triggering dendro reactions, kuki and lisa also have her beat there

shes better than no kuki though
